The Carolina’s Latin Dance Company (CLDC) was founded in 2001, in Charlotte, North Carolina to fulfill the aspirations of Latin American children and their families who expressed an interest in preserving their Hispanic/Latino heritages through traditional music and dances, as well as the excitement of sharing it with others.

CLDC is a non-profit organization that prides itself in employing the most authentic representation of Latin American folkloric dance to help promote cultural acceptance and understanding in our community.

Our objective is to provide opportunities for cultural enrichment through performances with an educational component presented both in English and Spanish, that bring together not only people of Latin American backgrounds, but people of all cultures. This creates an enjoyable environment of diverse cultures and traditions, where the community can learn about each other, and where cultural awareness and acceptance is promoted.
